Veteran payment technology providers revs up offerings for automotive dealers in the U.S.

DALLAS/FORT WORTH, January 23, 2015 -- Yooz, the cloud service that lets businesses instantly streamline their accounts payable (AP) workflow, today announced that CDK Global (Nasdaq:CDK), the largest global provider of integrated IT and digital marketing solutions for the automotive retail industry, has chosen Yooz to power their AP automation offering for its dealership clients in the US. To enable end-to-end AP automation for CDK, Yooz has partnered with Nvoicepay, which is bringing the ease and simplicity of consumer payments to business payments. CDK will demo the new portal at the NADA Convention being held in San Francisco from January 22 – 25, 2015.

According to the US Bureau of Economic Analysis, the automotive industry is expecting strong growth in 2015, with sales likely to be close to 17 million units. This growth will mean more invoices to manage and payments to be made, while ongoing consolidation in the industry requires dealership networks to quickly roll out new technology across many locations in order to save costs and boost efficiencies.

With Yooz, the thousands of dealerships using CDK Drive Dealer Management System can quickly and easily automate the time-consuming process of manually entering and processing hundreds of thousands of invoices annually. This means reducing costs by up to 70 percent and significantly increasing the volume of invoices processed in shorter timeframes to take advantage of early payment discounts.

Nvoicepay and Yooz have partnered up to give businesses a cloud-based service that is the most cost-effective and efficient way to automatically capture paper and electronic documents (invoices, purchase orders, expense reports), streamline the approval workflow, export the GL data and pay electronically.

“Teaming up with Nvoicepay is already showing its value as companies like CDK come on board to use our end-to-end AP automation and payments solution and reap the benefits of accounts payable intelligence,” said Matt Williams, CEO of Yooz North America. “CDK is the leader when it comes to software for car dealerships, and we’re ready to help them provide their dealers with the best user experience for AP automation plus significant tangible savings.”

This automated AP solution, along with a complete ePayment solution, is part of the 140 meaningful innovations CDK is demonstrating at the 2015 NADA show.

“Many of our dealerships have multiple franchises which process tens of thousands of invoices per month. With Yooz and Nvoicepay, dealers get a modern experience for their AP workflow,” said Justin Sprague, VP, Product Marketing, CDK. “The benefits are greater visibility, shorter cycle times and significant cost savings.”
